  5. Make sure the filling has very less moisture & is pasty in texture.

  6. After the resting of the dough, divide in equal size dough balls, and shape a dough ball like a small cup with your thumb & index finger, fill the small cap with a small spoonful of the besan filling, bring the ends together and seal to make a ball.

  7. Flatten with hands and coat with dry flour, further use a rolling pin and roll in thin chapati, be careful while rolling to ensure it doesn’t tear.

  8. Roll all the kachori in same way.

  9. Heat oil in wok for frying, make sure the oil is hot, but not very hot, fry the kachori in hot oil on medium high flame.

  10. While frying, push down the kachori with the spatula so it fluffs up, flip the kachori and splash hot oil over it so it fluffs like a balloon and fry from both the sides until crisp & golden brown.

  11. Fry all the kachori’s in similar way.
